Fast cleaning: A full mouth debridement is an initial cleaning that allows your dentist to remove much of the overlying debris and tartar so a better diagnosis can be made of the health of your teeth and gums.

Initial cleaning : Full mouth debridement is technically a term to describe the removal of heavy build-up from all your teeth so that an in-depth periodontal evaluation may be performed.
